[Mimedefang] Problems with mimedefang and sendmail 8.14.0

Yes, that would explain it.  Here is the error message right before it kills
the .sock file:

Feb  3 03:30:36 apple sm-mta[29523]: l13BUFja029523: Milter (mimedefang):
timeout before data read, where=body
Feb  3 03:30:36 apple sm-mta[29523]: l13BUFja029523: Milter (mimedefang): to
error state


Which to me looks like there was a problem reading the body.  I don't
remember ever seeing this problem since I installed version 2.59 of
MIMEDefang.  I was running the beta versions of 2.59 with no problems.

On one of my machines I had to go back to version 2.58 of MIMEDefang.  I
guess there is a problem with 2.59 and 2.60 in regards to a long line in the
body of an e-mail address.

it happens to me too with the builds you are using.

I isolated down to an email message that seems to cause this process


defang    7290  0.0  0.1  12092   584 ?        Sl   17:44   0:00
/usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -R -1 -m
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock -z /var/spool/MIMEDefang
-U defang -p /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock

to crash.

The message has a very long line in the body, maybe that's it.
